This is gnarly!

OBEEWON · 12-01-2014, 12:38 PM

Usually I think RHD swaps are corn ball, but with an RB this makes sense. Good like wood!

niSm095 · 12-02-2014, 07:10 PM

Agree 100% with the above statement. Makes sense with the swap. Can't wait to see some progress on this. Should be sweet.

You both are correct, do to the size and exhaust location of the RB the RHD conversion made perfect sense!

Ka24Power · 12-02-2014, 11:59 PM

this is cool, post more

angel mkiv · 12-03-2014, 01:25 AM

Badass build! Looking forward to more updates!

Royal_T · 12-03-2014, 08:31 AM

Badass can't wait to see the outcome of this.. I know Stew was working on a FD making it RHD and did the same thing with the firewall..

Keep it up..

New In Town · 12-20-2014, 06:11 PM

Test fit the clutch today! ( OS Giken GT Twin)

Front Aero Fitted: ( RE-Amemiya Facer AD slightly modified)

I couldn't fight the temptation to see how it looks!!! it's not mounted, just sitting on stands... I will need to fab a new front member and move the rach down 2 inchs and out 1 inch

Light coat of primer on the front aero, the RE bumper is made very well and will need very little to make it perfect. The rest of the car will need some love...lol

Sweet build so far.
Looks like a 89-94 powersteering pump... you can check the block number to make sure.

moostang09 · 12-20-2014, 07:51 PM

That was a Texas FD.... Did you buy from there or was it yours and you moved to arizona? Just curious as I know a few guys who have had black RX7's. Sweet build so far, look forward to seeing more updates.

New In Town · 01-16-2015, 07:02 PM
